Chapter 296 Su Ji Is Full of Warmth
With Zhao Daxia as a dish washer, it really made Feng Yifan and his kitchen a lot easier.
Especially on weekends like this, there are more people coming to Suji for dinner. Feng Yifan and Lin Ruifeng in the back kitchen are already very busy, and they may have to clean up the dishes before.
Now with Zhao Daxia, she will take the initiative to help clean up the dishes after getting acquainted with her.
And even Zhao Daxia will clean up the leftovers. Then, before the business was over, the dishes and dishes had already been soaked.
In this way, the process of washing afterward will be much easier.
And when she came to work on the first day, Zhao Daxia soon realized that she was a bit down in this small restaurant.
It seems that the restaurant is really not big, there are only 20 tables in front.
But one night, there were really quite a few guests. Especially when a round of diners were leaving to clean up the dishes, Zhao Daxia found that the sink in the water room was full.
What made Zhao Daxia even more unbelievable was that there were so many bowls, chopsticks and dishes to deal with so many customers who ordered different dishes.
But in the back kitchen, only Feng Yifan and Lin Ruifeng were busy.
From time to time, Zhao Daxia poked her head into the water room to observe, and she could clearly see that basically all the dishes were cooked by Feng Yifan alone, and Lin Ruifeng was helping most of the time.
Even the final arrangement was often done by Feng Yifan himself.
Zhao Daxia watched with her own eyes, Feng Yifan arranged a dish so beautifully, she felt like a flower.
And in this process, Lin Ruifeng just helped out, and Feng Yifan completed the whole process by himself.
Seeing this, Zhao Daxia really admired Feng Yifan.
During a short break, Zhao Daxia couldn't help but came in and said, "Boss, I think you are really amazing, you can make so many delicious dishes by yourself. "
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Daxia said again: "And I feel that after you put the dishes on the plate, I can't afford those dishes just looking at them."
Lin Ruifeng still felt a little proud of his master after hearing what he said earlier.
But after hearing the words,
Lin Ruifeng's expression changed immediately: "What do you mean you can't afford to eat just looking at it? The dishes at my master's house are not expensive, and every dish is reasonably priced."
Seeing that the apprentice was a little excited, Feng Yifan smiled and waved his hands: "Big sister didn't mean expensive."
Zhao Daxia also said: "That's right, I didn't say it was expensive. I just thought that after the boss arranged the plate, it looked very expensive."
Feng Yifan smiled and said: "You have to be responsible for the guests who come to eat. Guests want to eat physically and mentally. First, it looks beautiful, and then it tastes good. Then the guests will naturally eat happily."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Daxia nodded and said, "No wonder your family's business is so good. Boss, you really put your heart into it."
While chatting, Feng Ruoruo led two good friends and ran in again.
The little girl laid out the menu, Feng Ruoruo immediately said: "Dad, don't be so anxious, there are not many customers ahead, so you can take your time, don't be so anxious and hard."
Yang Xiaoxi continued, "Father Feng, take your time, this time there is only one menu."
Chen Yaofei nodded and added earnestly: "Those people are chatting, they don't seem to be in a hurry, and you don't need to be in a hurry, Dad Feng."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Daxia couldn't help but feel a little envious: "Boss, you are so happy to have these three little babies here. Sure enough, you are still a daughter. Unlike my two boys, it doesn't make people worry at all."
Feng Yifan inspected the menu, first ordered his disciples to prepare the cold dishes, while he processed the ingredients needed for the main course first.
During the process, Feng Yifan did not forget that he could chat with Zhao Daxia.
"Sister, in fact, both boys and girls are good. The key is that children need to be respected. When educating, we must respect their wishes and try our best to explain some truths to them."
Zhao Daxia didn't quite agree: "Children are just children. They don't understand the hard work of adults. It's useless to just reason."
Feng Yifan said while he was busy: "Sister, it's not right for you to think like this. Think about it, when we were young, didn't we also hope to gain the respect of our family?"
When Zhao Daxia was told this, she fell into deep thought for a while, thinking that it was true.
Feng Yifan cleaned up the freshly killed fish, put them on the vegetable pier and continued to debone while continuing to talk.
"When we were young, we all hoped to be recognized and respected by our parents, so think differently, and don't always treat children as children. As they grow older, they actually understand a lot of truths."
Speaking of this, Feng Yifan glanced at his daughter who had already gone out: "It seems to be our Ruoruo, she looks very cute, but she also has self-willed times, and when she has a petty temper, I have to have a conversation with her.
To let her understand what is right and what is wrong, as long as you make it clear and let her understand, she will become very good. "
During the chat, Feng Yifan did not stop working, but he would not continue chatting when fine knife work was required.
Seeing that he fell silent, Zhao Daxia looked at his movements carefully with some curiosity.
Zhao Daxia was amazed to see that a whole fish bone was removed, and the two pieces of fish meat were connected at the tail part. The whole process was done in one go.
She really wanted to give a sincere admiration, but seeing Feng Yifan's serious face, Zhao Daxia still chose not to make a sound, and continued to watch his next move seriously.
The next step is to cut the flower knife on the fish, which is also very delicate and smooth.
Unknowingly, Zhao Daxia was a little stunned. She never thought that cooking could be so beautiful.
But I couldn't continue to watch the rest, because she needed to clean up the dishes.
Zhao Daxia is also a relatively nimble person, when she needs to go to work, she is absolutely unambiguous, she goes to work without the slightest hesitation, and cleans up the dishes with neat hands and feet.
Seeing that a batch had been piled up in the water room, Zhao Daxia put on rubber gloves and immediately started washing.
Seeing Zhao Daxia's busy figure, Feng Yifan couldn't help feeling that his mother really had a unique vision.
The back kitchen is like this, alternately advancing time during a period of busyness and a period of relative leisure.
Because it was the weekend, as the time approached nine o'clock, the number of customers not only did not decrease, but showed signs of increasing.
Especially after 8:30, there were three or four tables of guests, which made Su Ruoxi feel a little embarrassed.
It seems very bad to drive these guests away, but it's already 8:30, and I'm afraid it will be overtime again tonight if I have to serve the dishes of these three or four tables.
If it was before, Su Ruoxi wouldn't have to worry too much, the great thing is that the whole family is busy.
But today I hired a dishwasher and told people that the business will close at nine o'clock. If it delays time, wouldn't it be said that I was cheated?
After thinking about it, Su Ruoxi went to the back kitchen and went to the water room to ask Zhao Daxia.
"Sister, it's 8:30, and there are three or four tables of guests. Maybe we can't close at nine o'clock today. Look, can you leave later?"
While cleaning the dishes, Zhao Daxia replied: "What's the matter? Which restaurant can guarantee that you get off work on time? It's okay, girl, you just greet the guests. I'm sure I'll go back when I'm done."
Su Ruoxi was relieved to get such a response: "Okay, thank you for your help, I will give you 80 today."
After finishing speaking, Su Ruoxi turned around and ran to the front.
Zhao Daxia waited for a while to regain her senses, and quickly poked her head out of the water room, only to see that Su Ruoxi had already gone to the front.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Daxia couldn't help shaking her head: "This family is really honest, well, it's a good job in this family, so I will do a good job here."
After Su Ruoxi inquired, she ran back to the front, and just happened to have another guest coming in, so she quickly stopped her.
"I'm sorry, we don't have so many preparations today, and we may only be able to make the few tables inside. If you want to come to eat, you may have to wait until tomorrow. I'm really sorry."
Hearing this, no matter whether it was the four tables who had already entered and sat down, or the people who were going to enter, they were stunned.
Then the guests who were stopped were not very happy at first.
"We came here specially, why can't we eat?"
"Yeah, aren't you still in business?"
"That's right, it's still open, why can't you go in and eat?"
Facing the dissatisfaction of the guests, Su Ruoxi still explained seriously: "I'm sorry, our Suji originally only opened until nine o'clock every day. It may have been overtime today, and our preparations may not be enough, so we can't greet everyone."
The guests sitting in the restaurant naturally have to ask at this time.
"Boss, can we still eat?"
Su Ruoxi turned her head and said, "You can. I've already asked the back chef. You still have some dishes, but you can't entertain more guests with the remaining ingredients. You are the last four tables."
With such an answer, the guests who have already sat down to four tables are also very grateful.
"Then we came just in time."
"Yes, I won't be able to eat any later."
"I didn't expect Su Ji's business to be so good."
"Of course it's fine, after all, I've been on TV, and I've heard people who have eaten it say that Su Ji's dishes can be as good as Fujinglou's, and some dishes are even better than Fujinglou's. "
"Then today we are really lucky, we are right."
"Come on, I really want to have a good taste."
...
In the end, the guests who couldn't enter the door had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After all, everyone has said that there are not enough ingredients. Even if you enter the door, what are you sitting and drawing when you have no food to eat?
When Feng Ruoruo saw this situation, the little girl was very sensible and took the initiative to show the "Closed Business" sign to her mother.
"Mom, hang this up, so that no one will come in and ask again."
Seeing her daughter coming over with a sign, Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Ruoruo is really smart, mom didn't even think of it, thank you Ruoruo."
Feng Ruoruo responded with a smile: "You're welcome, Mom."
Su Ruoxi hung up the sign, and sure enough, no one came in to ask, and she could record the menu with peace of mind.
At this time, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei felt that it was not early, and discussed whether to go back first, otherwise it might be very late.
After the discussion, Grandpa Feifei said, "Why don't we go back first."
Hearing what Grandpa said, Chen Yaofei immediately said: "Grandpa, let's not leave so early, we will leave after Ruoruo's family is done, okay?"
Yang Xiaoxi also stood up and said, "That's right, let's wait a little longer."
Li Fei'er said: "But it's getting late. If it's later, Feifei and grandparents will go back very late. It will be a little unsafe for us to drive home so late."
Feng Ruoruo was also reluctant to part: "But, I still want to deliver menus with Xixi and Feifei."
Seeing that the three little girls were reluctant to leave, and they didn't want to say goodbye at all, the parents were really a little bit embarrassed.
In the end, Lu Cuiling said: "How about this, let the three children go together to deliver the menu for the last time, and then, I will take Ruoruo to give you a ride together, is that okay?"
Hearing this method, the parents of both families felt very good.
The three little girls were still a little dissatisfied, but after persuasion from their parents, they could only agree to it in the end.
At this time, Feng Ruoruo murmured instead: "I hope mom writes the menu slowly, and everyone orders slowly, so that Xixi, Feifei and I can be together longer."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also muttered and prayed together.
The parents couldn't laugh or cry, but when they thought about it, they felt that the little girls were really cute like this.
Although the little girls prayed, there were only four tables of guests after all, and the menu was written quickly.
Su Ruoxi took it to the three little girls: "Okay, you three go and deliver it, don't delay, because tomorrow is also the weekend, you can learn to paint with Grandma Feifei and eat delicious snacks together, right? "
Hearing what Su Ruoxi said, the three little girls also nodded, and then went to the back kitchen with the menu.
After placing the menu this time, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei took the initiative to bid farewell to Father Feng, Uncle Xiao Lin and the new Aunt Zhao.
Feng Yifan took out the prepared snacks from the refrigerator and handed them to Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei: "Bring the snacks, we'll see you tomorrow."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei took snacks, and the little girl said goodbye to Father Feng with a smile.
"Goodbye, Father Feng."
"Father Feng will see you tomorrow."
The two little girls also blew a kiss to Father Feng.
Feng Ruoruo told her father, "Dad, then grandma and I will go see Xixi and Feifei off. You and Uncle Xiaolin should cook well. This is the last four tables of guests. Come on."
Feng Yifan bent down with a smile and clapped his daughter's little hand: "Okay, Dad will definitely finish it well."
Looking at the backs of the three little girls leaving, Zhao Daxia was really envious. There is a feeling that I can't explain clearly. This restaurant is not big, but it feels full of warmth to her.
After coming out of the back kitchen, Feng Ruoruo took grandma's hand and sent Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei's family out together.
The two families also bid farewell to Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi, walked out of Suji with their children, mixed into the bustling crowd on the old street, and walked towards the west side of the old street.
